Where your heart is free and hope comes back to life
Who: Ventus, Sora, Terra, Aqua, Roxas
When: For the moment, let's just say ~THE FUTURE~ Saturday, July 2
Where: The Apartment of Departure
Summary: Roxas has a lightbulb moment. Sora plays butterfly net. Ventus has major nap hangover. Terra and Aqua are happy parents.
Warnings: SPOILARZ!!! for KH:BBS
...and we came up with a new flavored coffee idea that we might add to the menu later this summer. I think you might like this one-I know you don't like regular coffee, but trust me, it's good.
[It's starting to become a routine, stopping by Terra, Aqua and Ven's apartment before or after a shift at Kahve and talking to his sleeping friend for at least an hour. He never would have figured he could hold up a conversation with someone who doesn't talk back, but Roxas has found that it's not so hard if he thinks of Ven as listening quietly instead of being...somewhere else.
The waiting is getting hard, though. And seeing how the worry is eating away at Aqua and Terra. That's really, really hard.]
Hey, Ven. [He speaks quietly now, even though there's no one to eavesdrop-the other inhabitants of the apartment aren't the type to listen at the door.] When are you going to wake up, huh? I know you like to sleep, but you should be pretty rested by now. You're missing a lot of cool stuff, too. I know you don't want that.
[Getting up from his seat, he leans over Ven's still form and rests the palm of his hand flat against his chest.] What happened to your heart, Ven? You were okay without Vanitas all this time. Maybe you got stuck together with him for a while, but you can go without him again. You don't want me kissing you to wake you up, do you? Jinx has good ideas sometimes, but I don't think that would work. Come on.
[His smile slips then, like he's run out of energy to keep it going.] Sorry. I know you've got to be doing your best. I just wish I could do something to fix whatever's wrong. But I don't know anything about hearts-I still don't understand them. I'm not like Sora. I don't-
[He cuts himself off there, as if someone's interrupted him, but it's more like a memory has interrupted him.
But something repaired the damage done to my heart, otherwise I think I would have died back then.
I think... it was Sora.
Sora.
He's on his feet in an instant, throwing the door open and running down the hall to the living room, where Terra and Aqua should be.]
I think I might know a way to help Ven! I'll be right back.
[And then he's hurtling through a hastily summoned portal, most likely leaving a couple of very confused Keybearers in his wake. He holds his breath and hopes that Sora is where he thinks he is, because he doesn't want to stop even long enough to call his NV and ask. Luckily, he's judged correctly, because when he emerges from the portal into Riku's apartment, Sora's there, looking up in surprise from whatever he was doing.]
I need you to come with me. Right now.
